Not Perfect

#543 - #544 - #545. As Venipede evolves, its carapace becomes a dull cocoon as its insides liquify, and if anything tries to break it, it'll stab them aggressively until dead. It regains its lustrous carapace after evolving and becomes docile, giving rides to smaller pokémon and humans it meets.

I had a pretty solid idea for scolipede itself: Make it more buggy, reference centipede anatomy, but keep its horse whimsy. I did many study of centipede faces and anatomy to figure out how to place their antennae and ultimate legs (thats what the final pair of legs that look like antennae on the end of centipedes is named!). I wanted to keep some of the horn shapes, and also have the tail look like a false head like it does in many centipedes.

The weird eye shape of these guys is referencing the ocelli of centipedes: forming compound eyes. The spikes are actually referencing a milipede instead of a centipede, Desmoxytes purpurosea, who have big pink spikes. The empty spot is meant to look like a little saddle :) and the difference in color is because i think bright green feels more toxic paired with red than the greyish purple the canon one has.

venipede was easy, adapting the canon simplicity and then just adding some centipede anatomy like the antennae below the carapace.

whirlipede however, was pretty annoying. I didnt know what to do with it! i didnt want to just make a wheel but didnt want for it to just look like a venipede curled up. i decided to go the cocoon route: the carapace is protecting the goo inside. centipede dont go through cocoon phases but shhh. made it dull to keep its unique color from the rest of the line that the canon one has.

what if, just some family doodles, then what

Rise From The Dead

Day 3 of @stychu-stych COTLTOBER :D Sozo's back!

Oh shit!

Texas’ HB 3399 bill will kill people if it passes. It will make hormone therapy illegal. For all ages. Period. This was never about women’s sports. It was never about bathrooms. It was never about “protecting the children”. They want us dead. If you’re a fellow trans person and you live in Texas, I strongly urge you to be ready to move somewhere safer.

some lambs i really liked :3c + repost of a closeup of an important detail

also some info about my lamb, ramzi, under the cut;

[he/they/it for ramzi!]

hard to know where to start, so i guess ill start from the top? ramzi remembers everything before being executed, including having [admittedly murky] memories of his parents.

its mother gave them to ratau because she believed it'd be the safest place for her precious lamb, and her assumption was mostly true

they were left with that adorned handkerchief as a memento of its parents, and he's incredibly attached to it, even if the very sight of it makes him cry

shamura had been the one to catch ramzi in a trap- and despite his pleading he was given no mercy, it causes a rift between them later when it saves shamura from purgatory that will eventually be mended

he refuses to show his grief to anyone, especially the former bishops, and definitely not narinder. they don't wish to worry anyone, though resentment is absolutely a big part of it too, whether the lamb acknowledges it or not...

i'll definitely explain more but after a lot of hard work the lamb eventually enters a polycule and marries all of the former bishops (including narinder) we love toxic yaoi here.

should mention i was listening to 'its been raining' by kimya dawson for the last sketch here and fighting back tears MY BABY LAMB UGHHHHH.....,
